Shesterkin’s deal with the Rangers makes him the highest-paid goaltender in NHL history, reports say

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Igor Shesterkin’s contract extension with the New York Rangers makes him the highest-paid goaltender in NHL history, according to multiple reports. “Maybe we can talk about it tomorrow.” The successor to Hall of Famer Henrik Lundqvist with New York, Shesterkin has been one of the best at hockey’s most important position since debuting in 2020. Signing Shesterkin long term checks off the most important job left for general manager Chris Drury after trading defenseman Jacob Trouba to Anaheim on Thursday. Drury also signed budding star forward Alexis Lafrenière to a seven-year extension earlier this season, and a new contract for linchpin defenseman Ryan Lindgren could be next.
